The Charlestown Digital Story Project teams UMBC students with residents of Charlestown Retirement Community to create digital stories. Drawn from the life experiences of the residents, the stories combine narration, animation, photos and music in short movies to be shared with others. Residents work closely with student partners, acting as author and creative director of their individual story. Each student brings their own style and talents to the project, helping to create some unique examples of intergenerational storytelling.
Over fifty stories have been produced to date. In 2007, the project was recognized with a Telly Award.
The project is organized by the New Media Studio with funding from Retirement Living TV.
